Effect of manual therapy and stretching on neck muscle

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a six-week combined manual therapy (MT) and stabilizing exercises (SEs), with a one-month follow-up on neck pain and improving function and posture in patients with forward head and rounded shoulder postures (FHRSP). Methods: Sixty women with neck pain and FHRSP were randomized into three . Conclusion: Both manual therapy and stretching were effective short-term treatments for reducing both spontaneous and strain-evoked pain in patients with chronic neck pain. It is possible that the decrease in pain reduced inhibition of the motor system and in part improved neck www.doorway.ru by:  · Effects of Manual Therapy and Exercise Training of Diaphragm in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain. Diaphragmatic stretch technique is an intervention intended to indirectly stretch the diaphragmatic muscle fibers. This will help to decease tension generated by trigger points, normalizing muscle fiber length, and improve muscle contraction Actual Enrollment: participants.

conclusion: conventional stretching and muscle chain stretching in association with manual therapy were equally effective in reducing pain and improving the range of motion and quality of life of female patients with chronic neck pain, both immediately after treatment and at a six-week follow-up, suggesting that stretching exercises should be . The stretching part of the exercises was done with the purpose of increasing the flexibility of the pectoralis and the cervical neck extensors muscles (pectoralis stretch, chin tuck). Results: After 6 weeks of treatment, both pain intensity and the impact of pain on emotion was reduced by 80% and 50% respectively. The impact of pain on function and ADL were reduced by 60% and 70% respectively. Patient also reported remarkable improvement with reduction in numbness and tingling sensation.

To study the effect of manual therapy and stretching on neck function in women with chronic neck pain. A total of women were randomized into 2 groups. The stretching part of the exercises was done with the purpose of increasing the flexibility of the pectoralis and the cervical neck extensors muscles (pectoralis stretch, chin tuck). Exercises have been approved to be effective on the lengthening of the pectoralis minor, activation of the lower trapezius/middle trapezius, serratus anterior, and improvement of the posture [ 1 ]. Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a six-week combined manual therapy (MT) and stabilizing exercises (SEs), with a one-month follow-up on neck pain and improving function and posture in patients with forward head and rounded shoulder postures (FHRSP).
